Longevity

"We think longevity is probably about 70-75% lifestyle."  Angela Brooks-Wilson, PhD, geneticist

This research would indicate that only about 1/4 of our aging is based on our inheritance.  So, what are some ways to live longer and healthier?  Keep moving physically.  Do not spend a lot of time sitting down.  Eat real food -- versus processed foods.  Have an exercise routine, that you can count on for overall health.  Reframe what we accomplish by considering our age, versus comparing what we did when we were in our 20's.  Use and enjoy humor.  Laughter really does help us age well.
